BabyLucy...I know what you mean about the giant clump!

My fur baby, Proton, is still a little guy yet he can fill a litter box
up in no time! And he loves peeing in once section. Funny, its not always
the same section it just seems once he has peed he likes to do it in the same spot!

As far as pawing away at the litter he does a normal amount of that. However, he does paw around his food bowl. Not always but it doesn't matter if its a full bowl or not. I think he is trying to tell me something. Just not sure what.
